Zigzag Trim – Decorative Rick Rack for Quilting and Appliqué

Zigzag trim, also known as rick rack, is a playful and decorative braid widely used in quilting, appliqué, and embroidery projects. Its distinctive wavy shape instantly adds movement and texture, giving your work a handcrafted and dimensional look.

In the designs of Sue Spargo, zigzag trim is frequently used as a decorative element. It often appears as flower stems, vines, or whimsical accents in wool appliqué projects. When stitched down and embellished with embroidery, it creates beautiful depth and texture.

Zigzag trim is especially suitable for art quilts, crazy quilting, and other creative textile projects where detail and finishing matter. It is easy to sew and combines beautifully with wool, cotton, and embroidery threads.
